Rainbow Shop

You can make a living by what you get, But you can make a life better by what you give.

We are most fortunate to have a double-fronted shop half way down the Brechin High Street that was purchased in 2004 from a bequest left to St Andrew’s Church. It has a rear stock room with a staff area, kitchen and toilet and the front of the shop has recently had new carpeting and shelving.

Funds from the shop have enabled us completely to refurbish the Church Hall. The profits from the shop go into the General Fund of the Church and 10% is given annually to local charities.

Alongside the Good as New clothes the shop sells a good range of Fairly traded products, wholefoods, cards, toys, books, DVD’s, videos, bric-a-brac and other items. The Rainbow Shop is always very happy to receive donations of any of these items to sell, and if you require them to be collected please contact Kate Darbyshire on 01356 625540.

We are blessed to have at least twelve volunteers who cover three-hour shifts in the shop on a regular basis. The shop is managed by a paid part-time coordinator with the overview of the Rainbow committee who report to the Vestry on a regular basis.

Our volunteers welcome people to the shop who benefit from the company and the social interaction. It is also an opportunity for the Church to advertise events and collect for the food-bank. In March 2014 the shop had its 10th birthday with a celebration in the shop by all volunteers (past & present) attended by Lord Dalhousie.

You can also have refreshments and sit and chat in comfort as you drink your coffee, tea or soft drink.

Can You Help?

If you would want to join the volunteer team then you would be most welcome, just get in touch. Volunteers can work in the shop, but there are ‘behind the scenes’ tasks of sorting, and decorating that are carried out as well.
